Shaft has taken taken a break from magical puellae and monstrous monogatari to kick off this season with an adaptation of hikikimori imouto light novel Sasami-san@Ganbaranai – though unfortunately many viewers were left wondering what it was they had just viewed.

It’s actually not that hard to understand : Sasami is a hikikomori and has haruhi-like godlevel power, that can change reality. The three sisters fight against the abnormalities she causes.
(PS : I didn’t read the novel, but that’s kinda obvious)

Uhm…I hope you don’t mean every Shaft series to date…because Bakemonogatari, at least, is certainly comprehensible. If you didn’t mean that then good for you :3 If you did then…I dunno what you’ve been watching.

Alternatively, if you didn’t think Bakemonogatari was comprehensible then you might want to solidify your comfort with the english/japanese language as well as associated puns, allusions, and other literary devices, seeing as the author of the originial light novels wrote them to play with language. Otherwise the show makes perfect sense, to me. But that’s just my opinion. I could be insane, I guess?

Bearing in mind that a lot of us haven’t seen the shows featured on Sankcom, it would be nice if we could be told just a little about what the plot is. A bunch of random pictures don’t convey a lot of meaning.

The censorshit was clearly ironic, because they were censoring things like her butt that you had seen in glorious uncensored close-up only a few moments earlier. They censored her panties too because panties are lewd, but then showed the same sequence without the magic light bar in the ED.

Honestly, it’s bullshit, a girl that cute would never experience the pressure and anxiety of normal, real life, she would be pampered and showered with love and have no idea why someone wouldn’t want to step outside of the house.

Not really…there are a lot of beautiful people who still feel insecure about themselves. People pick up on that and it makes them seem awkward and a little less likable. You can be as ugly as sin, but if you’re charming and well-balanced people tend to like you.

Probably the author spent months wondering how to make monogatari more absurd possible and after days without sleep did this anime.

You could say that would be a FPS in format anime, even if it has a symbolism in history has just annulled by exaggerated action and ero scenes.
In my case I will keep watching to see how far the author goes and ero scenes too 🙂

Well, I’m not sure what I think about the whole chocolate thing at the end although I think I get the gist of the characters’ roles? If the whole anime will be like that chocolate stuff then I probably won’t watch it – as you said, stop watching it now. I’ll give it a second episode, though, since you can’t always judge by the first episode. Baccano! is a good example of that.

Jinrui wa suitai shimashita from last year was also one of the weirdest anime I’ve seen, starting from the first episode with that talking bread tearing itself apart but now it is one of my favorite anime!

The whole show is about modern shintoism. Sasami and her brother are gods, her brother thought about chocolate so much, that it made the whole planet turn to chocolate. The three sisters are representations of the three virtues in shintoism. This will make sense later in the series when it’s actually explained.

Why’s anyone surprised? It’s shaft
At first I didn’t know it was by shaft. It wasn’t until I read on gg’s site that its from shaft that I knew.
I’m guessing in the next episode we will get a bit better an idea of what’s up. Or some time after that.

I loved the hell out of Excel. It wasn’t terribly hard to follow once you realized the overarching plot wasn’t supposed to make any sense and was just there for the animators to do a different genre take-down every week. And those were actually pretty smart. The best one was where they played it dead serious for a week.
